Its specification full complies with UIT regulations for international shooting competition with air compressed rifle at the distance of 10 m. The quick action mechanism and stability during shooting are remarkable features of this rifle. Variability and quantity of adjustable elements enabling adjustments according to individual needs, application of accurate micrometric sights and minimal power effort during shooting provide a first rate potentials for an outstanding performance.

5)Insert bulb into container with closure positioned out of container.

6)Screw on closure cap with TAU needle (does not belong to accessories ofrifle) until this needle punctures the bulb.

7)Increased resitance eventually weak hiss is a proof that the puncture was completed. For fastening the the corresponding nut it is advaqntageous touse nut wrench which belongs to accessories. Activate trigger of unloadedgun to make sure that the propellant gas has been released from bulb.Periodical smearing of loading cone of a vessel and inspection of "O" ringon the closure cap is recommended and it should be done when changingthe bulb. "O" ring may be somewhat swollen if exposed to the effect of carbon dioxid for some time. This swelling is temporary and disappearswithin the period of 1 to 3 hours. In order to prevent damage to a sealingalways alternate closure cap when changing bulb.

III.� Loading of the rifle

1)Lift bolt handle upward and release the bolt.

2)Pull bolt backward cock the striking assembly of rifle.

3)Insert a pellet into groove of loading adaptor.

Push pellet into grooves of the barrel by reverse movement of the breech and close the chamber.

Rifle is ready for shooting now.

IV.� Training of shooter's habits (with empty gun)

1)Lift the bolt handle upward and cock striking assembly by backward movement of the bolt.

2)Turn the bolt handle downward in the moment when the bolt is in theutmost rear position. The handle should fit the rear recess in the jacket of the barrel.

3)Activate the trigger.

4)Any further cocing should be made only by pulling of the bolt handlebackward without its lifting up.

Shooting with an empty gun serves as a training of shooter's habits. Complete process of the shot is realised in the striking assembly by activating the trigger but without opening the charging valve. The shooter perceives the shot by soft vibration. Do not insert pellet into barrel. A consumption of gas does not exist.

V.� Discharge of gas pressure

Do not leave the rifle under pressure after termination of shooting for longer time in order not to strain excessively the sealing of the gun. Discharge the gas pressure by pushing warning device into the gun until the charging valve is opened and gas leaks out.

VI.� Adjustment

Sights:

It is possible to make precise correction during shooting-in of the gun by screwing micrometrical rear-sight screws. Head of a micrometrical screw for lateral adjustment is situared on the right side and on the left side there is head for vertical correction. Displacement direction of the mean impact point is marked in the upper surface of the rear sight leaf. One step means 2.4 mm at the distance of 10 m in both directions. Exchangeable front sights and rear-singht leaves of various widths belong to special accessories. These can be exchanged afterloosening of the screws.� Choose the most suitable sizes and combine them according to sight dispositions and illumination.

VII.� Balancing

Detachable collar weights can be added to or removed from the barrel. These weights can be gradually set to or removed from the barrel by screws situated in their lower parts, the layout of the proper weight can be thus properly adopted. The front sight tunnel is movable on the barrel forward thus shotening the aiming line. This is, for instance, very suitable for beginners. These weights can be delivered on a special wish.

Adjustment of the trigger mechanism is to be done from the left side of the gun. The optimal distance from the upper side of pistol grip - i.e. distance corresponding with the lenght of a finger can be adjusted by loosening of the screw in trigger latch. If necessary, vertical and axial reset of the trigger can be made. To do that, take off the trigger latch, loose nut M5, separate stock from metallic parts and carry out requested setting of the trigger beam.

2)Adjustment of the trigger pull weight

Use screwdriver pushed through the oval hole in the trigger guard. There are three screws situated there and adjustment is to be done by the first screw nearest to the barrel. Turn it clockwise to increase, reverse to decrease. If necessary, the trigger pull weight can be increased by inserting trigger pull weight spring into trigger assembly after its dismantling. This spring can be found among accessories.

IX.� Adjustment of the trigger charakteristics

The trigger assembly is automaticlly tuned as a two-stage pull trigger. By turning the adjusting screw located before the trigger it is possible to achieve single pull trigger with either a longer smooth continuos trigger pull or a very short, almost instant trigger action. To get a basic two-stage pull trigger following adjustments should be done: cock the bolt and screw in first left screw until the

goes off. Then turn this screw one turn anticlockwise. Do The same with the central screw with following exception: unscrew it back 1-2 turns.

It is quite easy to change this two-stage pull trigger into single-stage one. When instant trigger action is required screw in the central screw for about one turn. Longer smooth continuous trigger pull can be achieved by screwing off the same adjusting screw half a turn. Generally speaking, turning adjusting screws clock\\ise means increase, reverse means decrease.

Do not screw these screws more than one quarter of a complete turn at one go and regularly control the adjustment by shooting with empty gun. It can happen that cocked rifle cannot be activated. It means that adjusting screws are too loose. On the other hand, when adjusting screws are screwed in too tinghtly then the striking mechanism cannot be cocked. The adjustment of the trigger characteristics is relatively complicated and this operation can be recommended only to technically experienced people.

X. Adjustment of muzzle velocity V0

Muzzle velocity is present to an optimal velocity of 125- 150m/sec. by the manufacturer. Adjustment can be done by performance screw, through \\ich the warning device leads. After loosening of securing grub screw \\ich is positioned on the forehead of the above mentioned performance screw. Clockwise turning of performance screw means compressin of striking spring and increase of muzzle velocity (V0), anticlockwise turning means decrease of V0.

ATTENTION!�� Grub screw must be always firmly tightened otherwise performance screw turns spontaneously when the gun is being loaded.
